Publisher Synopsis
If global governance is about rule-making and interpretation, these activities are themselves governed by secondary rules. In one of the most thoughtful constructivist works of recent years, Mark Raymond examines how and why social practices of secondary rule-making have structured global security orders from the Concert of Europe to the campaign against al Qaeda and ongoing efforts to regulate cyberwarfare. * Jason Sharman, Sir Patrick Sheehy Professor of International Relations, University of Cambridge * It's one thing to talk about rules and their properties in the abstract. It's quite another thing to talk about rules in practice-lawyers do this for a living, but only with a limited stock of formal rules; many constructivists talk about informal rules in the wooliest terms. It is altogether something else to map 'the endogenous dynamics of complex rule sets.' These are Mark Raymond's words for his ambitiously conceived, carefully executed project. Finding rules formaking rules in four astutely chosen case studies, Raymond shows how two centuries of social construction have given us today's system of international governance. * Nicholas Greenwood Onuf, Professor Emeritus of Politics and International Relations, Florida International University * What goes into the making of successful global rules? In this sweeping and intellectually powerful analysis, Raymond shows that there are generic procedural rules for making rules that apply across contexts. Spanning topics from great power management and collective security to terrorism and cybersecurity, Raymond deftly reveals commonalties in the construction of governance arrangements of all types. A must-read for all students of global governance andinternational politics. * Martha Finnemore, University Professor of Political Science and International Affairs, George Washington University * Read more...
